Mark Ruffalo was unable to pick up his Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries for The Normal Heart because he is working in London, so was woken with the good news he had won the prize by wife Sunrise Coigney and their children Keen, 13, Bella, nine, and seven-year-old Odette.

The 47-year-old actor was unable to pick up his Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries for The Normal Heart because he is working in London, so was woken with the good news he had won the prize by wife Sunrise Coigney and their children Keen, 13, Bella, nine, and seven-year-old Odette.

Posting a picture of himself on Instagram, he wrote: "Upon waking and hearing from my wife and kids that I won a @SAGAwards for #TheNormalHeart. Love wins tonight!"

"Thank you GLAAD! You had a hand in making all this possible. Thank to the #LGBT community. Love wins.

"Last but not least. Thanks to all you folks who have supported the movie and me all these years. Good night. Again."

Julia Roberts was particularly thrilled that Mark scooped the prize and praised her co-star when she went out to present Eddie Redmayne with his Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role trophy.

She said: "They had a wordy little tongue twister for me to start with about how wonderful actors are, but instead I just want to say, Mark Ruffalo is one outstanding actor.

"And I am so absolutely tickled to my toes that he won tonight. He wasn't here! Waitin' for that Nor'easter."
